Speeding towards Hessle
The fast-approaching DMU train, led by a Cravens Class 105 2-car unit is on the fast lines coming out of Hull Paragon and will run through Hessle station without stopping. The leading car has a small yellow warning panel, as did the first units repainted into Rail Blue in 1967. This style was quickly superseded by yellow panels that covered the entire front cab area.
Just two tracks now cover this section of the line, and the imposing semaphore signals are long gone. The busy Clive Sullivan Way of the A63 has replaced the fields at the right.
